Description
Whew! This took some doing. Collaboration piece, lineart by the ever-talented and colored by yours truly. Saria from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. She's a kokiri and the Sage of the Forest Temple, hence the title. I pulled some stops on this, and it couldn't have been less than fourteen hours coloring it in Photoshop 9.0 and Painter 9.0 (mostly only for the wee fairy). There aren't really any special effects in this, except for the wee bit of fairy dust. The rest of this is coloring and about fifteen layers XD. This was almost exclusively done in Photoshop, with just a hop-skip over to painter to give the fairy a little glow. I had a lot of fun coloring this, but wow, was it ever labor intensive. I have no idea how people do this stuff quickly XD.ANYWAY. Whew. I'll be posting the non-blue version of this later tonight, just in case someone would like to see it. Again total kudos to Yuina, who did the adorable lineart.
OH, and Full View this. You're missing most of the image if you don't XD

She's always been my favorite girl in the series. Plus, the Forest Temple is my favorite dungeon.

I added Navi at a whim, mainly because I wanted to see what I could do with a fairy XD. I'm glad you like her! I like doing glowy effects, and it made the lighting more interesting :3

Oh Saria, it is no secret that you are my girlfriend. I particularly like the eye coloration in this one; yes, definitely fullsize this one, or you will miss them.

Awww, I know your secret dream is to be Link so you can pick up all the ladies. All the musical ladies no less. Sheik plays the harp, Saria the ocarina, and Malon sings XD.

Thanks! I spent about 9000+ more hours on this one coloring than I ususally do, but I think it really paid off. I wanted something soft and blue since a lot of Saria pictures are an overload of the green (which happens to be my favorite color, but WHEW, too much of it can make you a little ill XD).

XD It's her fairy :3 I went ahead and uploaded the full preview image, because I was worried people wouldn't full view it and they'd miss most of the image otherwise. I hope that solves your mystery!
